 So I'm here with Andrew Brown, president of the Essex Junction Village Trustees, and it's a really big historic and exciting day. What can you tell us about why today is so exciting, Andrew? Yeah, thank you, Annie, for doing this. It's a very exciting and historic moment, it feels, as Bill H-491, known as an act relating to the creation of the city of Essex Junction and the adoption of the city charter, has passed the House Government Operations Committee, which in essence, what that means is we are now one step closer to the city of Essex Junction being created. It's unreal, it's really, it's just unreal. The amount of work and effort and professionalism and thoughtful care and concern that's been put into all of this by residents and trustees and staff, and people have just been so motivated to work together in the village here in Essex Junction. Absolutely, and big kudos really need to go to our representatives, Lori Houghton and Karen Dolan, as they've really shepherded this far so well. I was at the original presentation to the Government Office Committee by representatives, Lori Houghton and Karen Dolan, and it was just thrilling, thrilling to be present to that work that they're doing for us. It is, and the great part about this is now that it's one milestone completed. There's just a couple more steps and then this is done. Actually, this is one of the reasons I wanted to have you talk about this today is what does happen next? Like literally, what is it that we look for next, please, if you don't mind? Yeah, so after this, or now that we have completed the House Government Operations Committee, where the bill goes next is the House Ways and Means Committee as they have the purview over all tax-related bills. And since this legislation does impact property taxes at the local level, this will need to go to that committee. Once it passes that committee, then it goes to the full house for the house to approve. After that point, it would then go to the Senate for the exact same committees on the Senate side. Hopefully they don't make any changes, but if they don't, then it would be approved of by the Senate and then signed off on the governor. So that's the moment that we're gonna have the champagne and the moment where it gets to the governor is, if you think I was excited today. Once we have his signature on it, we can then at that point have a new S-Exjunction Independence Day. Andrew, thank you so much for being here today. Is there anything else that you would like to say or did we shout out enough people, the trustee, all the team, all the trustees, absolutely representatives, Karen Dillon, Laurie Houghton, all of them. We also wouldn't be where we are without the support of of course the other trustees, of course the community at the village of S-Exjunction and the hopeful future city of S-Exjunction, but also the town select board. Their cooperation and collaborative process so far has allowed us to really get to this point and not repeat where we were in 1999. Yeah, I have to say it's been very impressive to watch the boards work together and to come to these decisions and as we all grapple with where we're going. It's, I agree, that was a great shout out, Andrew. Thank you for saying that. Absolutely. Thank you so much, Andrew, for coming and doing this with me today. And we look forward to learning more about this process and congratulations to everyone that's worked so hard. Thank you so much for your time today. Thank you, Annie. Uh-huh. Bye.
